The problem solved by cryptographic electronic voting is secure remote elections. Mailed ballots cannot be secured from tampering, since they cannot be observed. I voted remotely this selection, and I have no way to verify my ballot was counted correctly by my county registrar, or even received.
Another minor problem cryptographic electronic voting solves is inaccurate vote counts.
If we allow vote-by-mail we should allow cryptographic voting over the Internet. I agree in-person voting is the most secure, but we already use a less secure system.
